Network
​
This page lists my professtional contacts in alphabetical order, both individual persons and organisations. With some I collaborate regularly and with some occasionally, with some I collaborated in the past and with some I am collaborating currently. All of them have been important for my work and professional development.
artasfoundation
The Zurich-based foundation initiates it’s own art projects and accompanies their realization. It studies the contributions unrestricted art can offer to conflict mediation and the building of peace.
​
From 2015 - 2017 I worked as a project coordinator for artasfoundation, implementing projects in the South Caucasus and collaborating in the establishment of a centre of competence for art in regions of conflict and fragile contexts.

Since we both were doctoral students in the European Politics Research Group at ETH Zurich, we have often worked as a team. We started with academic teaching, organised workshops for young people on democracy-related topics, jointly developed the civic education program "building blocks of democracy", jointly initiated the foundation of Demokrative and we are constantly planning new projects and collaborations.
Upsala-Circus
Upsala-Circus is a non-profit organisation based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Apart from staging the most poetic circus shows I have ever seen, it is combining modern circus art with social pedagogy in order to "positively influence the life scenario and social status of at risk children and adolescents".
​
In 2002-2003 I worked as a volunteer in the then still small Upsala-Circus and since then I have supported Upsala and collaborated in different projects.
